Kudos to the #Netherlands.

"Dutch universities published 82% of their peer-reviewed scientific publications #OpenAccess in 2021. This is an increase of nine percentage points compared to 2020."
Little experiment comparing activity on #Mastodon and #Twitter.
One hour ago, I posted the Dutch news above (previous item in this thread) at the same time to my personal accounts on #Mastodon and #Twitter. Here's what happened in that hour:
* Mastodon, 24 favorites, 12 boosts
* Twitter, 12 likes, 6 retweets
That's nearly twice as much engagement on Mastodon. But I have more than 23 times more followers on Twitter than Mastodon.
@petersuber Everyone is likely benefiting from the "honeymoon phase" of engagement, where freshly registered users stay more active than usual to discover everything on the platform.
The engagement numbers ought to average down with time...
